The effect of including dynamic imaging derived airway wall motion in CFD simulations of respiratory airflow in patients with OSA

Abstract Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is an airway disease caused by periodic collapse of the airway during sleep. Imaging-based subject-specific computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations allow non-invasive assessment of clinically relevant metrics such as total pressure loss (TPL) in patients...
